Such Indeed is the Celebrated DR.. B. B
Petutt VINO is Now Staying in
the Alamo City.
MeL cannot be too careful In selec Ing
a physician, because IL ne is not cOmpe-
tent to treat them their cash Is wasted.
and, what is far worse, their lives may
be endangered. The theory and prac-
tice of medicine and surgery are absO-
luTely necessary for a good physician,
but, unless these are backed by practi-
| cal experience, they are Of little worth.
/ For this reason the specialist Is always
sought by the wise. inasmuch as they
know that he has paid special attention
| to all the
THEORIES OF HIS PROFESSION,
and, having had an extensive practice,
| he can at once correctly diagnose the
| case, knowing what remedies to apply
at that particular stage OF the disease.
| In other words he treats the dis
ease whilst the inexperienced man is
| 10 diagnosing ard experimenting. This
| makes frequently y material difference,
| not only TO the patient, but TO his
| chances for recovery. Then, again, the
| instruments required In specially cases
| are many, and necessitates the outlay OF
many Thousand dollars. The specialist,
| having many cases of the same, or sim
liar KIND, can afford the outlay, but 1t
| does not pay the ordinary doctor to
make any such investment for the few
cases that come before him, and he does
| without them, detracting from his eff
| cheney. Thus 1t is that even In dealing
with those cases the ordinary physician
stands at disadvantage against the
specialist.
| Among the specialists Of the day none
are better known, or have been more
| successful than
| DR. b. b. PETTTTT.
who is now staying at the Maverick no.
| tel, and will remain there for month,
| in order that our citizens may have the
benefit OF his medical knowledge and
| vast experience. And the citizens are
taking The opportunity now presented
Jf finding relief
| DIR. Petit, who has won q genu-
me state reputation, comes here
| from the city of Austin. where he
has performed many wonderful cures,
sometimes, in cases that have been pro-
nounced incurable, and the Austin pa
prrs have been full of admiring praises,
| recording cures known TO them to be
genuine, and marvellous by reason of the
| prUmptntss and efficiency of the treat
| ment. These cures and the high en-
| dorscment that the doctors skill has
| won for him all over the state, are in
| themselves sufficient to command con-
sidrratiOD and 10 make him matter OF
interest, TO the community.
In general surgery, IL Is questionable
| whether DR.. PettItt mas an equal, but he
stands pre-eminent in the successful
| treatment of diseases "f the eye, ear and
nose, and his skill is fully demonstrated
| by
| SUCCESSFUL RESULTS.
For twenty years, Mr.. }. r. McCOr-
| mick. u well known citizen uf Austin,
| suffered from Catarrh. so vlrulent rs TO
DESTROY the bUres of his nose, AMI he
| WAS considered Incurable. DR.. PeItiIt
| gave him almost i'm Mediate relief and
The man is So far cured that time must
complete il. Mr.. 5. MusSett, an
ntuer citizen, was deaf" for TWEEN
~ years, and il you wanted him
10 hear anything Won mad TO shout loud
| ly. Now after DR.. PeIritI's treatment
| he hears ordinary conversation dis
| linctly. Jennie Mandlin tells how she
was Blind for eight years, and WAS told
| there was no hope Of regRIning her sight,
| but now after DR.. Pettitt has operated
upon her she can see almost as well as
ever; Mrs. Hertie Harris. wife of tx
| Governor Harris. tells how for thirty
| years, she had Il film growing over her
| eyes that eciipsed her sighr, yet DR..
| Pettitt by delicate and almost painless
| operation
RESTORED HER SIGHT;
J. L. Taylor, of Van Alstyne, was dis
figured by cross eyes from infancy and
| was operated on by several occulists
who failed. DR.. Pettitt Strengthened
| the eyes without pain, in three min
utes; Miss susie Mussett, of Austin, suf-
fered in u like way in one eye for 10
years, and her natural beauty was thus
| disigured In one minute it was
strengthened by the doctor, and now
Susie says sue wouldn't be las she was"
for $40. QUO; }. ID. Staples, of San Marcos,
tells a similar story. He was cross-eyed
| from birth and doctors said they could
not be rectitied, but in two
minutes DR.. Pettitt naturalized them
without pain. Mrs. Kelly, of
Austin, also tells her story. She lost
one eye and the other was falling fast.
| Doctors said that unless the diseased
| eye was removed, she would become
totally blind. but none cared 10 under
| take the difficult and dangerous task.
| Dr. Prttitt performed the operation,
and now the Old lady can see better than
she has done for ten years, and the sight
| is growing stronger. Miss Peeler, an
| Austin belle, tells how she was cured of
crOss-eyes, and Judge jackson, of the
same city reCOunts remarkable cure
for cancer which the doctor performed
upon him.
There is no bunkering about this busi-
ness. The
THE STATEMENTS ARE FACTS,
made by reliable people and sttested by
| friends VINO cOrrObOrate them. They
are not 1.-THE of the wOndrnus cures re-
corded By the doctor, aud yet they are
q sufficient testimony to his skill AS To
ensure MIN the confidence and respect
| of the people. They show that he Is tine
most skiliul occulist In the south. and
those who have any eye trouble should
not miss this chance OF seeing him
| Nothing is more valuable than the eye
sigh and timely attention should be
given TO any OF its ailments.
While the testimony adduced refers
| mainly to the doctors wonderful feats AS
an Occulist. Ii must not be forgotten
that he is general surgeon and has
been equally successful in other direc-
tiOns.
